Bouncing on our anchor at Musket Cove. We'd hoped to escape the wind by coming west but its howling here over in the Mamanucas. Sailed from Yanuca to Robinson Crusoe Island in Likura Bay. Windy spot

Left Beqa in 30 to 40 knots wind, but glorious flat seas and bright sunshine. As we came along the south coast the wind eased and we encountered a two knot current so looked for closer anchorages

Arrived at Beqa. Very quick trip in 25 to 40 knots of wind. Lumpy sea, 2 to 3 metre swells. Sun came out for a while but at least no rain. Very gusty anchorage. Will probably move on west tomorrow

Finally leaving Suva bound for Beqa Island. ETA 1500. Grey sea, grey sky and drizzle but forecast is for clearing. Good to be underway again. Janet Sent from my iPhone
